Chapter 58: Monster Attack! (Second Update)

Chapter 58: Monster Attack! (Second Update)



To be honest, not everyone who followed them necessarily had ill intentions.

After all, Song Haitang and Zhao Zheng had made a name for themselves in the first layer of the Spirit Realm, a feat that was hard to ignore. It was only natural that their actions would attract attention.

Regardless of Song Haitang's reasons for bringing along a "pet" like Zhao Zheng, the fact that she achieved such a remarkable record suggests she possesses extraordinary abilities.

These followers might simply want to observe their methods in the Spirit Realm and learn from them if possible.

In modern terms, this phenomenon is known as the "Celebrity Effect."

As for why many Extraordinary Beings perceived Zhao Zheng as a kept man who relied on his looks...

He might not seem like a significant threat, but Zhao Zheng acquired 350 Spirit Energy Points, which, if entirely allocated to attributes, would likely surpass the total attributes of most new Extraordinary Beings.

The reason he is considered non-threatening is that, according to common knowledge, Kryptonian Heritage not only doesn't increase attributes through training but also lacks any offensive capabilities!!

The absence or strength of offensive capabilities significantly impacts Extraordinary Beings.

For example, would a regular person with 350 points of strength and a werewolf with the same amount of strength have the same combat power?

A werewolf's claw swipe could easily kill an ordinary person.

While Kryptonian Heritage is not among the most powerful Extraordinary Abilities, it is formidable in the early stages.

Many Extraordinary Abilities provide a significant boost to combat power.

Take Song Haitang, for instance; her Burning Flame ability allows her to amplify the damage of her attributes by several folds, making it challenging for other newcomers to withstand her attacks.

If the four fundamental attributes are the only means to enhance an Extraordinary Being's strength, then Extraordinary Abilities are the foundation of their survival!

Having strength without Extraordinary offensive capabilities significantly diminishes the threat.

Moreover, those who achieved a B-Grade Task Evaluation in the first layer of the Spirit Realm, combined with their usual attributes, aren't far behind Zhao Zheng in terms of total attributes.

With powerful Extraordinary Abilities, countering and defeating Zhao Zheng is not a difficult task!

There's one more crucial point.

A regular person with 350 Spirit Energy Points cannot allocate all points to strength or agility; they need a robust physique to support such power.

Even Spirit Energy Points acquired in the Spirit Realm must adhere to this fundamental principle.

After all, this is a real world, not a game!

Is it possible for a person with a mere 10 points in Constitution to punch with 350 times their strength?

It's unlikely; their body would probably fall apart before they could even land that punch.

The Constitution attribute, while less flashy than the other attributes, is an indispensable aspect.

No matter which attribute you choose to enhance, you must first strengthen your Constitution.

...

For attributes like Strength and Constitution, the minimum ratio should be maintained at around 50%.

This means if you want to increase your strength by 300 points, you need to allocate at least 150 points to your Constitution first! Only then, when you strike with 30 times your strength, will your body be able to withstand the strain.

...

For Agility and Constitution, the minimum ratio is 20%.

To achieve 300 points of Agility, you need a Constitution of at least 60 points.

This ensures that when you move at 30 times your speed, your body can handle the intense air resistance.

...

The ratio between Mental and Constitution attributes is the lowest, requiring only 5%...

This explains why, during training, whether focusing on Strength, Agility, or Mental attributes, the Constitution attribute also increases.

Following this formula, if Zhao Zheng wants to focus on Strength with his 350 Spirit Energy Points, he can increase his Strength by a maximum of 233 points, and the remaining 117 points must be allocated to his Constitution.

If Zhao Zheng opts for a Strength and Agility path, his offensive capabilities will be even weaker.

When all things were considered, how much of a threat was Zhao Zheng? This was the real reason why many of the newcomers didn't take Zhao Zheng seriously!

Of course, what they didn't know was that Zhao Zheng's true attributes far exceeded their imagination, and were extremely terrifying...

...

Several minutes later.

Zhao Zheng and Song Haitang stood outside a relatively well-preserved building.

This was a rather large manor, covering an area of at least a thousand square meters. Its outer wall was high, and the gate was both tall and large.

A truly grand mansion!

The previous owner of this place must have been a prominent figure in the city.

Moreover, the manor was built on the highest ground in the city, almost on top of a large hill.

Just standing at the gate.

They could see almost half of the city's scenery at a glance.

"This place is good," Zhao Zheng nodded in satisfaction, "Haitang, let's make this our base for tonight."

"Are you sure?"

Song Haitang frowned, "I feel like this place is like a conspicuous target."

Isn't the highest point in the city a conspicuous target? Zhao Zheng didn't explain much, he just smiled and said, "I won't let you down, trust me this time."

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Since he said so, what else could Song Haitang say? After all, even his "token of affection" was received!!

"Okay, I trust you."

Song Haitang said immediately.

Zhao Zheng then smiled and said, "It's getting late, let's go in!"

After saying this, he pushed open the gate and walked in.

Song Haitang followed calmly.

Not far away.

A group of people saw Zhao Zheng and Song Haitang choosing such a place as their base, and they all showed expressions of astonishment and confusion.

Then.

They dispersed with different intentions.

...

Zhao Zheng first took Song Haitang to explore every corner of the manor.

This was to familiarize themselves with the environment.

To Zhao Zheng's delight, there was even a huge indoor "training arena" built in the north of the manor!

It was like a sturdy bunker.

Furthermore, there were quite a few weapons inside the training arena.

Knives, guns, sticks, and rods, everything was available!

"Great! This place is amazing!"

Zhao Zheng's expression became even more satisfied.

"Haitang, do you want to choose a weapon?" he called out to Song Haitang.

Song Haitang said, "My ability is fire, so I don't need a weapon. It will only become a burden."

Zhao Zheng nodded and went to choose a weapon for himself.

However.

Those knives, guns, sticks, and rods were all too light for him now...

Zhao Zheng's strength attribute had already surpassed 600, sixty times that of an ordinary person.

The weapons here, one by one, felt too light and fragile to him.

Finally, after much deliberation, only a pair of "drumming vase golden hammers" could make him feel a bit of weight.

Each of these hammers weighed nearly 200 pounds, and the pair together would definitely be over 350 pounds.

Even with such weight.

Zhao Zheng could still toss them around effortlessly, like toys.

Seeing this, Song Haitang couldn't help but ask, "Zhao Zheng, is the Kryptonian heritage's talent ability strength-based?"

"No!"

Zhao Zheng smiled and said, "It's omniversal!"

As his voice fell.

From the distance outside, a monster's howl suddenly echoed.

"Wuuu!"

Zhao Zheng was startled, and immediately went out to the training arena with Song Haitang.

It turned out that night had already fallen.

I know that when this chapter is released, there will be some who want to discuss the water...

However, there were just too many questioning readers, so I had to use a chapter to explain.

Alright, let's consider this chapter as an exception, and I'll update another chapter for you all later!

How's that for sincerity?
